In 1996, I can still remember
Horror movies all used to be lame
Then Mr Craven took his chance
To show the genre wasn't pants
The first film's good, the sequel is the same.

But slasher movies make me shiver
With all the horror they deliver
Psycho's in the basement
Freddie's on work placement

I can't remember how they died
Or what they found someones head inside
But I was mildly surprised
When the killer arrived

So
Bye-bye, it's Scream trilogy time
Though the first two were excellent
The third one was quite tired
And that stupid bloke with the mask over his eyes
Saying "Sidney, it's the day that you die"
"Sidney, it's the day that you die"

Did you know you get bumped off
If during the film you're making love
Or you're drinking alcohol
Do you use a cheap microphone
When your girl answers the phone?
And know so much about those horror shows

Well, I think I know who murdered him
It was Billy, maybe Stu - I think
If you've not seen - you lose
Man, I gave it away for you

In the cinema with some fake I.D
Theres the killer in the second parody
I didn't know he was a she
The heroine replied

I started whinging
Bye-bye, it's Scream trilogy time
Though the first two were excellent
The third one was quite tired
And that stupid bloke with the mask over his eyes
Saying "Sidney, it's the day that you die"
"Sidney, it's the day that you die"

Now for two years we have sort of known
That the two sequels were poorer clones
But that's not how it used to be
When the second one came to a bitter end
They came and cashed in on it again
And produced the movie number three

Oh, and newspapers were looking down
Reviewers laughed it out of town
The ending was inspired
The rest of it was tired
And here comes Mr David Arquette
The b*st*rds not met his end yet
But that geek film fan Randy met
His end before his time

I was whinging
Bye-bye, it's Scream trilogy time
Though the first two were excellent
The third one was quite tired
And that stupid bloke with the mask over his eyes
Saying "Sidney, it's the day that you die"
"Sidney, it's the day that you die"

news reporters who believe they ought to
find a local policeman to talk to
near the end he fell flat out
while saying "make your last breath count"
The kitchen knife would have moved to fast
And Sid's father in the kitchen on his *ss

Now Gale had the safety catch left on
And got silence where shots should have gone
We said this mustn't last
Oh, cause we need to throw up fast
'Cause the killers tried to end the show
They killed each other first you know
For the sequel it was a blow
But not everyone died

I started whinging
Bye-bye, it's Scream trilogy time
Though the first two were excellent
The third one was quite tired
And that stupid bloke with the mask over his eyes
Saying "Sidney, it's the day that you die"
"Sidney, it's the day that you die"

Oh, and there they were all in Stu's place
A horror mask stuck on his face
Billy hoping that he'll get laid
So come on, this movie, ends to quick
The seconds not as good as this
The scriptwriters waiting to be paid

Oh, he wrote the plot through December
It got leaked on the net and the
Writer got very mad
Cause it wasn't that bad
And lots of paper was ripped up that night
He made a bonfire out of spite
But the money he got was alright
The day that he rewrites

He was whinging
Bye-bye, it's Scream trilogy time
Though the first two were excellent
The third one was quite tired
And that stupid bloke with the mask over his eyes
Saying "Sidney, it's the day that you die"
"Sidney, it's the day that you die"

I got Neve Campbells autograph
And I said the first film made me laugh
Security turned me away
Went back to the video store
Where her signature cost me more
For the damaged cover, fines I had to pay

So using rented Video's
For signatures from you heroes
Ain't taken very lightly
The store owner had fined me
And the film that I had liked the most
Is eternally lost in the post
My video player is toast,
DVD player's died

And I was whinging
Bye-bye, it's Scream trilogy time
Though the first two were excellent
The third one was quite tired
And that stupid bloke with the mask over his eyes
Saying "Sidney, it's the day that you die"
"Sidney, it's the day that you die"

Bye-bye, it's Scream trilogy time
Though the first two were excellent
The third one was quite tired
And that stupid bloke with the mask over his eyes
Saying "Sidney, it's the day that you die"
"Sidney, it's the day that you die"
